Ingredient Systems

Baked Inclusions

Our baked inclusions are a tasty way to add satisfying texture to dairy applications. Our offerings include brownie, cake, cookie, biscotti, and pie crust inclusions and can be used in a variety of dairy applications. Use our baked inclusions in milkshakes, concretes, as an ice cream topping, and more.

Inclusions

Parker was founded to provide inclusions to the dairy industry, and we have maintained our expertise in this area ever since. We offer inclusions for dairy products, from colorful candy pieces to nuts and granola, allowing you to create new, specialty flavors, keeping your customers engaged and building your brand.

Swirls, Ribbons, and Variegates

Ice cream gets some of its greatest appeal from our swirls, ribbons, and variegates. We provide flavors ranging from candy and spice flavors like fleur de sel caramel, black licorice, and cinnamon to fruit like key lime, strawberry, and coconut to more unusual ingredients like our unique pretzel and molasses variegates.

Fruit Preps

Parker’s creative fruit preps support line extensions and seasonal flavors. Fruit flavors are among the most trendy directions for indulgent dairy products like ice cream and frozen custard, and Parker supports these trends with preps like our pear apple tarragon and others.
